I'd love to see more attention given to what I've called "red mode".

It's a colour filter that, well, makes the screen red.

It's AMAZING for reading at night. Not bright, renders text clearly, amazing on the eyes.

I'd also like to see an eInk phone take off, but this is more doable.

Reduce White Point is also great for reducing max brightness and preserving eye health

My setup is: dark mode, color filters tint red, brightness 0, and reduce white point. It’s almost completely unusable in regular lit rooms, but nice in complete darkness (mostly apps like Instapaper).

The main issue I have is that blue text is unreadable. I wish you could stack color filters like grayscale first, then red tint.

I use that. It’s nice. I just wish I could mix it with black and white mode because the way the filter works makes blue things unreadable and it generally messes with color rendering more than it would need to.

Zoom's filter applies before Color Filters, so a workaround is to toggle on zoom, set it to greyscale, then use the 3 finger gesture to zoom out to 100%.

I too have had a shortcut for “red filter” + “minimal brightness” + “reduced brightness” for years.

I trigger it by a Triple back tap.

Great for night usage with our eye strain or bothering your spouse

Could you share it?

I think they’re talking about going to Settings > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut. I just realized this was a thing, very nice.

My BMW defaults to orange / reddish for night time and I’ve often thought it’s very easy on the eyes.

There’s night shift by default in your iphone right? You can use the slider to make it more pronounced.

Yes, and I have that enabled all day, but red light is much more pleasant to look at at night and helps induce sleep: https://www.sleepfoundation.org/bedroom-environment/is-red-l...

It only gives you a really light yellow-ish tint. It helps, but more tint (full red) helps more.

For something like this on Android I've been using Twilight for years now.
